Okay.

Lostz:
incompetence at it best.

the villagers would have preferred the security forces left them alone for Boko boys.


or could it be that those killed are Boko boys and the community being Boko boys apologist are trying to paint the security agencies black?

What of when they bombed the IDP camp by "mistake" according to them, was the government IDP camps too filled with villagers hiding terrorists? Chad military just killed over 1000 boko haram in a single day, without killing any Nigeria civilians, recovered countless weapons and equipment. Yet our own, if grounds troops request for air assault backup, if they don't crash the plane, they will bomb civilians leaving the boko haram to escape, or bomb IDP camps. You better tell yourself the truth, something is seriously wrong with our army, stop blaming innocent civilians for their failures. Your army needs serious overhauling and rebuilding. Bombing civilians all the time, civilians that are not even inside Sambisa. Buratai has really moved to the theatre. The incompetence really shows. Won't be surprised if more mishaps keep happening.

Its not as easy as you think. Let me give you a scenario. In a neighborhood, must people know who the criminals are but can't point them out for fear of reprisal attacks. In U.S there is the witness protection scheme that gives informants like this protection, relocate them and even change their identity. But in naija, na police go even show the arm robbers the person wey come expose them

You scanned, locked and got a confirmation from superior to drop a bomb and you're saying it's accidental.

What kind of madness is this?

RealLordZeus:


You both have valid points but the northerners scenario is a different case, and if you live or have lived in the north you will understand this better.
In the South West, the people form vigilante, landlord association etc, they report the slightest suspicion to the police infact at their disadvantage. (I can remember a case of when we caught a boy burgling a house and we reported to the police, the community still contribute up to 20k to the police for reporting Kwa , and this does not deter them for doing so in the future). But in the north , it is a different case, if a thief/criminal is being pursued and get to enter a community, that is likely to be the end of it. They do all sort of coverups there, how many times have u ever heard that they lynched a thief over like we do see in the south! It's a different scenario

nams77:

Well like you rightly said, i haven't lived in the north and i am not looking forward to. If that's their game plan, i wish them luck

These are some of the worrisome incidents Nigeria's north will have to live with forever

Yes, the fight against insurgency has no end in sight. Sure, it has become the biggest business in that region with many people cashing in on it big time.

If anyone expects this government to wipe out Boko Haram terrorists, they are just waiting for a flight at Tin Can Island

basty:
In as much as I sympathise with the people that died in the operation. We all need to be careful of what we typed on these fora
The error does not make the Nigerian Army incompetent, many of you sleep in the comfort of your home typing rubbish. Do you know the efforts these soldiers are putting to curb the menace of the Boko Haram in the North East? Please stop castigating our soldiers.
American Army killed hundred civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, heavens did not fall. Please stop these abuses. Enough is enough, someone said Chadian president should rule over Nigeria, what a human being whose brain has been formatted to a doll?
